Understanding Manage Commitment Accounting

The Manage Commitment Accounting business process of PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources enables you to budget for payroll expenses and track actual payroll costs. You can exchange this information with PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials—both core PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials and PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials for Education and Government—to keep both systems in sync and to keep your budgeting information accurate. The Manage Commitment Accounting business process is the HRMS part of the larger Commitment Control business process available in the core PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials product line.
